How do I replace a color in an image which contains transparency with ImageMagick, but afterwards retain the transparency of the original image.
This is very useful for batch-changing of colors in icons.
Updated Answer
Option 1
A simpler option might be like this:
convert start.png -alpha deactivate -fill blue -opaque red -alpha activate result.png
which changes this:
to this:
Option 2
Another option, which uses an in-memory copy of the image, can also avoid the need to create 2 processes and write an intermediate file to disk:
convert start.png -write MPR:orig \
-alpha off -fill blue -opaque red \
MPR:orig -compose CopyOpacity -composite result.png
Option 3
Yet another method, that uses clone instead of MPR:
convert start.png \
\( +clone -alpha off -fill blue -opaque red \) \
+swap -compose CopyOpacity -composite result.png
Original Answer
If I create an image that contains transparency like this:
convert -size 400x400 xc:none -fill red -draw "rectangle 10,10 100,100" -fill blue -draw "rectangle 200,200 300,300" -bordercolor black -border 5 start.png
I'll get this (I am showing it overlaid on a checkerboard just to visualise the transparency):
If I now run this
convert start.png -fill yellow -opaque red result.png
I'll get this (again overlaid on a checkerboard):
Not sure why you need a more complicated, 2-stage process - or have I misunderstood your question?
convert file-in.png -alpha off -fill REPLACEMENT -opaque COLOR file-out.png
then
convert file-out.png file-in.png -compose CopyOpacity -composite PNG32:file-final.png

I have 100+ png files all 500x500, I'm trying to crop a circle in the centre of the image 400x400 and save it into a separate png, keeping the 500x500. example below
Does anyone know how to use image magick to achieve this and run through each file in the folder? - thanks
Source
Desired output
Make a 500x500 image with a 400px opaque circle in it (mask.png) (this is of course going to be same image for all your input):
Then from a source:
convert source.png mask.png -compose copy-opacity -composite result.png
yields:
You can find answers in How can I combine these commands to achieve circular crop in ImageMagick?
magick convert input.jpg -gravity center ( -size 480x480 xc:black -fill white -draw "circle 240 240 240 0" -alpha copy ) -compose copyopacity -composite output.png
magick input.jpg ( +clone -threshold 101% -fill white -draw "circle %[fx:int(w/2)],%[fx:int(h/2)] %[fx:int(w/2)],%[fx:int(h)]" ) -channel-fx "| gray=>alpha" output.png
magick input.jpg ( +clone -threshold 101% -fill white -draw "roundRectangle 0,0 %[fx:int(w)],%[fx:int(h)] 50,50" ) -channel-fx "| gray=>alpha" output.png
magick input.jpg ( +clone -threshold 101% -fill white -draw "roundRectangle %[fx:int((w-h)/2)],0 %[fx:int((h+w)/2)],%[fx:int(h)] 50,50" ) -channel-fx "| gray=>alpha" -trim output.png
You can process every (png) image in a folder using mogrify. Assuming Imagemagick 6. Just change directories to the folder and add the path to your mask.png image, which should not be in that directory.
mogrify -alpha set -draw "image copy_opacity 0,0 0,0 'mask.png'" *.png

After ImageMagick:
I have some ideas:
Duplicate the image, crop the duplicate, then flatten the images together
Reverse mask?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Although this has been successfully answered, I'll offer another simple approach using IMv6...
convert pasta.jpg -fill white \
\( +clone -evaluate set 25% -draw "roundrectangle 20,20 80,80 15,15" \) \
-compose multiply -composite result.png
After reading in the input image, in parentheses it clones the input and uses -evaluate to set the entire clone to 25% gray. A white "roundrectangle" is drawn on that gray image in the area you want to preserve. The mask looks like this...
Then after the parentheses, that mask and the input image are composited with -compose multiply. That leaves the white rectangle area as it was in the original input, and the rest of the image is multiplied by 0.25, leaving it darkened. The result...
This command should work just the same in IMv7 by changing "convert" to "magick". And it should work as well on Windows CLI by changing the continued-line backslashes "\" to carets "^", and removing any backslashes before the parentheses, so this "\(...\)" to this "(...)".
You can do that in Imagemagick by darkening the whole image, creating a round rectangle mask image, then composite the original with the darkened using the mask image.
Input:
convert pasta.jpg \
\( -clone 0 -brightness-contrast -75,0 \) \
\( -clone 0 -fill white -colorize 100 -fill black -draw "roundrectangle 20,20 80,80 15,15" -alpha off \) \
-compose over -composite \

The ImageMagick documentation provides guidance on how to create torn page effects (https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#torn). However, in their implementation, all edges are torn. Suppose I wish to tear off only the bottom or top part of the image. How can I achieve such a thing using ImageMagick?
Simply grow the top & sides by using -extent operator.
convert zelda.png -background pink -extent 148x138-10-10 extent.png
(Adding pink background for visibility on stack)
Apply the effect from the Usage documentation.
convert extent.png \( +clone -alpha extract -virtual-pixel black \
-spread 10 -blur 0x3 -threshold 50% -spread 1 -blur 0x.7 \) \
-alpha off -compose Copy_Opacity -composite torn.png
Then crop back to original image size.
convert torn.png -crop 128x129+10+10 output.png
Update
If you do not want to use geometry, you can use a combination of -border, -shave & -chop.
convert zelda.png -bordercolor pink -border 10x10 -gravity South -chop 0x10 extent.png
convert extent.png \( +clone -alpha extract -virtual-pixel black \
-spread 10 -blur 0x3 -threshold 50% -spread 1 -blur 0x.7 \) \
-alpha off -compose Copy_Opacity -composite torn.png
convert torn.png -shave 10x -chop 0x10 output.png
.. And of course, this all can be done with one command.
convert zelda.png -bordercolor pink -border 10x10 -gravity South -chop 0x10 \
\( +clone -alpha extract -virtual-pixel black -spread 10 -blur 0x3 -threshold 50% \
-spread 1 -blur 0x.7 \) -gravity Forget -alpha off -compose Copy_Opacity -composite \
-shave 10x -chop 0x10 output.png
There are several ways to create a torn edge effect using ImageMagick. Here is another example command using IM version 6 and *nix syntax. This should apply a torn effect to just the top edge of any input image while keeping the original dimensions of the image.
convert input.png -alpha set -background black -fill white \
\( +clone -colorize 100 -gravity south -chop 0x6 -splice 0x6 \
-spread 6 -paint 2 +transparent white -blur 0x0.5 \) \
-background none -compose dstin -composite torn.png
That creates a white mask inside the parentheses. Then a small amount of the "torn" edge is chopped off and a black strip is spliced on to replace it. The random-ish torn edge is created using "-spread" and "-paint" between the white and black areas of the mask. After that, outside the parentheses, that mask is used to apply the transparent torn area to the input image.
To apply the effect to the bottom edge, just change the "-gravity north" to "-gravity south".
To make the torn edge on the left or right, change the gravity setting to "west" or "east", and change the values of the "-chop" and "-splice" operations from "0x6" to "6x0".
This should work the same way using ImageMagick version 7 by changing the "convert" command to "magick".
To use it in Windows, remove the backslashes that escape the parentheses from "\(...\)" to "(...)", and change the continued line backslashes "\" to carets "^".
I have a GIF image generated by a program where each output value is represented by its color via attached color palette. I need to replace one value, i.e. color from image with interpolated from neighboring pixels. Since I don't have possibility to alter programs output, I need to modify the output image. The resulting image will be saved in the PNG or GIF format.
I can easily extract (mask) all pixels that need repainting, since they have fixed color, but I was unable to find solution on how to replace a color of one/all pixels in imagemagick with interpolated color from neighboring pixels.
Is there a way to do this in imagemagick?
The raw values of the pixels are proportional to the physical value, so it would be great if the interpolation could be done on raw values that are then later transformed to the color via supplied color palette.
Attached image shows the original (left) and processed manually in GIMP (right).
One technique is to replace the offending color with the background, and then use a combination of erode & dilate morphology to remove the paths.
Given...
convert input.png \
-fill white -fuzz 10% -opaque black \
-morphology Erode Diamond \
-morphology Dilate Diamond \
output.png
It's not a true interpolate from nearest neighbors, but close. Also note the rounding errors across edges.
Updated
Or as Fred pointed out in the comments, just use -morphology Smooth Diamond instead of Erode + Dilate
convert input.png \
-fill white -fuzz 10% -opaque black \
-morphology Smooth Diamond \
output.png
Adding a bit to xenoid's suggestion, you want to create a mask image and use that to composite the median filter with the original, so that only the region about the line is changed. Using emcconville's image and ImageMagick:
convert img.png \
\( -clone 0 -statistic median 3x3 \) \
\( -clone 0 -fuzz 10% -fill white +opaque black -fill black +opaque white -negate \) \
-compose over -composite \
result.png
An alternate, but slightly longer approach, is to put the mask into the alpha channel of the filtered image and then composite it over the original, which produces exactly the same result:
convert img.png \
\( -clone 0 -statistic median 3x3 \) \
\( -clone 0 -fuzz 10% -fill white +opaque black -fill black +opaque white -negate \) \
\( -clone 1 -clone 2 -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite \) \
-delete 1,2 \
-compose over -composite \
result.png
Unfortunately, there is a slight dark residual to the upper left between the red and green. I tried increasing both the fuzz value and the filter size, but that did not seem to help. I am not sure why.
I'm trying to find a good way to add a 3px white stroke to a ton of png files, effectively to make them look like "stickers." I've got some sample code that does a decent job, but I can't seem to get the cropping right. Also, the stroke looks a bit pixelated and I wanted to know if it's possible to get cleaner edges!
I did a bunch of internet scouring, found some sample code, tweaked it around, and came to something that almost resembles what I'm looking for. The images are always going to be PNGs, so I looked into things like inkscape/gimp from the command line but realized I should be able to do this just using convert from the terminal.

-delete 0,1,3 +swap -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite \

Your main problem is it is that you do not have enough space bettween your object and the sides of the image. You just need to add your image with transparency and then remove any excess later.
In ImageMagick 6, this should do what you want.
1) read the input
2) add a larger border than you need to add
3) extract the alpha channel from the input and dilate it by the amount of border (in this case 10)
4) copy the previous image and color the white as red and the black as transparent
5) composite the original over the red/transparent image
6) delete the original and the red/transparent image
7) swap the composite with the dilated alpha channel and put the dilated alpha channel into the alpha channel of the previous image
8) trim the excess transparency from the border padding
9) save to output
convert img.png \
-bordercolor none -border 20 \
\( -clone 0 -alpha extract -morphology dilate diamond:10 \) \
\( -clone 1 -fuzz 30% -fill red -opaque white -fill none -opaque black \) \
\( -clone 2,0 -compose over -composite \) \
-delete 0,2 \
+swap -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite \
-trim +repage \

For ImageMagick 7, replace convert with magick.

A better result can be achieved by replacing diamond:10 with disk:10
